Maria Evans

Maria Evans serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division, supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize surface ship systems. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on shipboard engineering, industrial control infrastructure, and mission-critical electronic systems, ensuring alignment with naval operational readiness goals. Her work centers on the lifecycle management of propulsion, ballast, and damage control systems, coordinating technical requirements with contract execution to deliver reliable, high-performance naval platforms. She interfaces closely with engineering and logistics teams to translate operational needs into enforceable contract statements of work and performance specifications. Maria maintains established relationships with prime contractors including Fairbanks Morse, LLC, Leidos, Inc., Rolls-Royce Corporation, G.S.E. Dynamics, Inc., and Kampi Components Co Inc, all of which provide specialized naval engineering, system integration, and mechanical subsystems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and compliance with naval specifications. She prioritizes performance-based outcomes and often utilizes indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and cost-reimbursement contract types to accommodate evolving technical demands. Maria’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict focus on non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. There is no current use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a procurement strategy driven by technical necessity and industrial base capacity rather than socioeconomic objectives. Her primary NAICS classification is 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), which reflects her oversight of facility-based infrastructure contracts supporting naval engineering test ranges, maintenance bays, and integrated system validation environments. She procures specialized real property services and mission-support facilities critical to testing and sustaining naval surface warfare systems, demonstrating deep expertise in facility-centric acquisition within the defense industrial base.
